This one-of-a-kind workshop experience will immerse you in native Appalachian plants as well as exotic plants; their healing properties, folklore and rich history. You will harvest your own plant medicine from the Medicine Wheel garden for your smoke bundle.
You will receive fascinating facts about smoke cleansing practices here and around the world and ways to bring these powerful yet simple rituals into your everyday life.
We will also be exploring themes such as:
*Plants and their ancient ritual and ceremonial uses in various cultures around the world
- Sustainable, ethical harvesting and bioregional, place-based alternatives to overharvested plants
*Offerings according to lineages, ancestors as well as the land we are harvesting from.
and more…
We will intentionally create fresh smoke bundles as we further discuss ways we may benefit from the medicine of the sacred plants for cleansing, purification, protection & more.
We’ll conclude with a tea ceremony with delicious seasonal herbs from the garden.
